Lamellar bodies appear in the cytoplasm at about 20 weeks gestation.

The lamellar body count is a test for assessing fetal lung maturity.

The lamellar bodies then unfold into a complex lining of the air-space.

They undergo much post-translational modification, ending up in the lamellar bodies.

Release of surfactant in lamellar bodies occurs from an infant's first breath onwards.

The surfactant is packaged by the cell in structures called lamellar bodies, and extruded into the air-spaces.

Lipids, contained into those keratinocytes within lamellar bodies, are released into the extracellular space through exocytosis to form a lipid barrier.

In pneumocytes, the choline-based phospholipids that are stored in the lamellar bodies serve as pulmonary surfactant after being released from the cell.

Surfactant phospholipids are stored in Type II pneumocytes in lamellar bodies, which are specialized vesicles.

At the transition between this layer and the stratum corneum, cells secrete lamellar bodies (containing lipids and proteins) into the extracellular space.

Their failure to identify lamellar bodies and large dense granules seemed to rule out origination from either Clara cells or Type II pneumocytes.

These lamellar bodies are secreted by exocytosis into the surface water layer lining the alveolar airspace, where the surfactant forms a meshwork of tubular myelin.

Keratinocytes become connected through desmosomes and start produce lamellar bodies, from within the Golgi, enriched in polar lipids, glycosphingolipids, free sterols, phospholipids and catabolic enzymes.

Lamellar body secretion and lipid structure is abnormal in the epidermis of patients with Netherton syndrome, a skin disorder characterised by chronic inflammation and universal pruritus (itch).

The components for these lipids diffuse from the blood into type II alveolar cells where they are assembled and packaged for secretion into secretory organelles called lamellar bodies.

PS is synthesized as lamellar bodies, which are structures consisting of closely packed bilayers that are secreted and then undergo transformation into a morphological form called tubular myelin.

Glucosylceramide is a major constituent of skin lipids, where it is essential for lamellar body formation in the stratum corneum and to maintain the water permeability barrier of the skin.

They are surrounded by an oily substance that is the result of the exocytosis of lamellar bodies accumulated while the keratinocytes are moving through the stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum.

Lamellar granules (otherwise known as membrane-coating granules (MCGs), lamellar bodies, keratinosomes or Odland bodies) are secretory organelles found in type II pneumocytes and keratinocytes.

The warrior's three-quarter robe with elbow-length sleeves is made of lamellar body armor, a flexible, scale-like material thought to have been developed in the ancient Near East as early as the eighth century B.C.

In the upper spinous layer and stratum granulosum layer of the epidermis, lamellar bodies are secreted from keratinocytes, resulting in the formation of an impermeable, lipid-containing membrane that serves as a water barrier and is required for correct skin barrier function.

They contain a Merkel cell-neurite complex in the epidermis and a lamellated corpuscle in the dermal connective tissue.

In vertebrate animals the sensors are Pacinian corpuscles in placental mammals, similar lamellated corpuscles in marsupials, Herbst corpuscles in birds and a variety of encapsulated or naked nerve endings in other animals.
